A special relationship that ties couples of twins, individuals who have always been together and have always shared the same existential space, sometimes in a complementary way, another competitive one.

The twins live a continuous de nition (and rede nition) of the personal identity and the identity of the couple, within a fascinating swing between equality and diversity: “I am equal to you but I am not you, I am different from you but I am also part of you. “

Physical equality is what has always attracted observer eyes, perhaps because the idea of ​​being able to reflect oneself in someone “in their own image and likeness” fascinates the human being. But for pairs of twins, the game of mirrors acquires a depth without it, because the other is not totally extraneous and at the same time is not entirely identical.

Identity and diversity contribute in a dance that will prevail from time to time the equality or difference, the sense of uniqueness and belonging or the desire for detachment and distance.

Fisical similarity obviously does not correspond to an overlap of identity, although our curiosity is tickled exactly by this possibility. In common perception the twins seem to be pairs of “inseparable”, opposite poles of the same magnetic field that attract each other.

Fascinated by this magical relationship, I portrayed various pairs of twins (men, women, children) in a fashion key, as if to “freeze” in a timeless shot the twin relationship, so special and controversial.
